Board of Ed

The Board of Education serves Oakland’s students, families, and schools. Here’s how to engage and stay informed.

The Oakland Unified School District Board of Education works to ensure all Oakland students have access to a high-quality public education. The Board sets district policy, approves the budget, and makes key decisions that shape the future of our schools.

The Board is focused on transparent governance, open communication, public participation, and decision-making that addresses the needs of our school communities. Connect with your elected Board Director, stay informed about upcoming meetings, and learn about current and past Board decisions.
